Default Hooking up horns

Hey guys,

I have a 1993 Del slo with an EG front end conversion. When they did the conversion, they did not hook the horn back up, so I need help finding the wire under the hood. It (should) be as easy as finding the lose wire, but I pop the hood and see at least a half dozen wires that go to nothing.. I just got my Hella Supertones in the mail, and will be doing the install this weekend.

Does anyone know what side of the engine bay it is? its color? connector/s on the end? If I use a volt meter should I be able to locate the wire by touching the leads and pushing the horn button?

Everything seems to work on the inside, when I push the buttons on the (stock) steering wheel I hear a click from behind the dash..

Any and all help/advice is greatly appreciated.

The horn has two wires -- Wht/Grn and Blu/Red.

Thank you so much. I found them this morning!

Do you know which one is the ground? Or are they both power wires?

Also do I need to use the little relay box that came with the horns or is there a relay in the system already?

I've done some research and read that there was only one wire for the horn and there was already a relay in the system.. So idk how reliable that information was now that I have your answer.

Wht/Grn is power. Blu/Red is ground.

So I should use the first installation technique in this guide? http://www.griotsgarage.com/text/pdf/77573.pdf

and the positive is the wht/grn
negative is the blu/red?
